Formulas Flashcards
Speed, distance, time
Speed = distance / time S = d / t
Acceleration, change in velocity, time
Acceleration = change in velocity / time A = v-u / t
Force, mass, acceleration
Force = mass x acceleration F = ma
Weight, mass, gravitational field strength
Weight = mass x gravitational field strength W = mg
Gravitational potential energy, mass, gravitational field strength, height
Gravitational potential energy = mass x gravitational field strength x height GPE = mgh
Kinetic energy, 1/2, mass, velocity^2
Kinetic energy = 1/2 x mass x velocity^2 KE = 1/2 mv^2
Efficiency, useful energy, total energy
Efficiency = useful energy / total energy Ef. = use / In
Work done, force, distance
Work done = force x distance E = Fd
Power, work done, time taken
Power = work done / time taken P = E / t
Electrical power, current, potential difference
Electrical power = current x potential difference P=IV
Electrical power, current^2, resistance
Electrical potential = current^2 x resistance P = I^2 x R
Potential difference, energy, charge
Potential difference = energy / charge V = E / Q
Moment, force, distance from pivot
Moment = force x distance from pivot Moment = Fd
Momentum, mass, velocity
Momentum = mass x velocity p = mv
Density, mass, volume
Density = mass / volume p = m / v
